Chapter 661 - 661 Suspicion
661 Suspicion
To be honest, Ye Qiu had long let go of the first half of his life.
The reason was very simple. Along the way of his growth, nothing had implicated his background. Since there was nothing on his path of growth, why search for it after he became famous?
Therefore, Ye Qiu had never worried about this problem.
Seeing Ye Wuhen ask like this, Ye Qiu was silent for a moment. He smiled and said, “Patriarch Ye, I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed. I have no parents and only had one master. I’ve relied on my master since I was young.
!!
“Unfortunately, the heavens did not favor me. My master has long pa.s.sed away. I have no relatives now. Senior, if you want to ask me where I came from, I only have one thing to say. I came from a humble background and grew up in a disaster-ridden Great Desolate World.”
As soon as these words were spoken, Ye Wuhen was even more shocked. He savored Ye Qiu’s words.
“Could it be that there’s really such a coincidence in this world? Ye Qiu!” Ye Wuhen’s heart trembled even more as he kept savoring this name in his heart.
Actually, the biggest reason why he asked was Ye Qiu’s name. As well as the King’s seal on his forehead and his appearance. It was hard not to suspect the various similarities.
“Yes, too similar…” Ye Wuhen muttered. His eldest son, who had died in the sea of flames back then, was also called Ye Qiu. He was the same age as Ye Qiu.
Combined with these similarities, Ye Wuhen had a bold thought. Could it be that his eldest son was not dead? Instead, he was secretly sent to the lower realm? That was unlikely. Back then, he had clearly personally witnessed his eldest son die in the sea of flames and his heart was pierced by a sword. He had seen it with his own eyes, so it was impossible for his eldest son to survive.
Therefore, this possibility could almost be eliminated. This was because there were too few people in this world who could hide from him. Only the person from Star Picking Pavilion might be able to do it, but there was no need for him to do so.
Every time he thought of this, Ye Wuhen’s heart ached. Even though he was extremely unwilling to accept it, he had no choice but to accept that his son was indeed dead. The current Ye Qiu was just a person coincidentally similar to his son in this vast world.
As the saying went, the world was huge and there were all kinds of strange things. This kind of situation had happened before.
“Sigh…” Shaking his head, Ye Wuhen smiled bitterly. Ye Qingxuan seemed to have seen his father’s worry and couldn’t help but worry. “Father, what’s wrong? Are you thinking about Big Brother again?”
It was only today that Ye Qingxuan realized that he once had a big brother and finally knew the secret of the Ye Clan’s riot back then.
When Ye Wuhen told him these things, his heart ached. It could be said that his life was given to him by his brother. He was the one who lured away the rioting clansmen and hid him, who was still in his swaddling clothes, to avoid that calamity. Those people only wanted to cut off Ye Wuhen’s bloodline and didn’t even know Ye Qingxuan’s existence. It was also because of this that he was lucky enough to avoid that calamity. However, his brother blocked this calamity for him.
Ye Qingxuan felt guilty. However, his brother was dead. He would never be able to repay him in this life.
Ye Qiu was at a loss when he saw the father and son’s grief. “How ridiculous!” Why did he seem to have thought of something sad as he spoke? This stunned Ye Qiu. Forget it. He couldn’t be bothered with other people’s troubles. Then, he cupped his hands and said, “Senior, if there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave first.”
After saying that, Ye Qiu turned around and left.
“Master!” As soon as he returned to his disciple’s side, Yaya called out affectionately. Ye Qiu nodded. Then, he looked at Jiang Ling’er and smiled. “This is the Saintess of Heavenly Saint Mountain, Yaya’s aunt, Fairy Jiang, right? Nice to meet you.”
This was the first time Ye Qiu had officially greeted Jiang Ling’er. As Yaya’s master, he had to be polite when meeting the other party’s elder. The other party was not rude either. Jiang Ling’er smiled gently and said, “Young Master Ye’s demeanor just now is really peerless. I admire you.
“I heard that among the outstanding figures of the Heaven Mending Holy Land, only Ming Yue is the most outstanding. I originally thought so too.
“I didn’t expect that after today’s trip, I would understand that this Heaven Mending Holy Land is really filled with crouching tigers and hidden dragons. Other than Fairy Ming Yue, there’s actually someone like Young Master Ye.”
Jiang Ling’er praised from the bottom of her heart without any arrogance. She had seen Ye Qiu’s performance the entire time. She could only summarize it in one sentence. She was shocked.
There were no rumors about such an immortal appearance in the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands. It could only be said that Ye Qiu was too low-key. After this battle, he could be considered famous, right?
“Haha! Hearing Jiang Ling’er praise him like this, Ye Qiu felt a little embarra.s.sed.
How could I? Although I’m indeed quite outstanding, you can’t say it so bluntly. It’s embarra.s.sing. Hehe…
Ye Qiu felt comfortable, but he was quite calm on the surface. After all, he was a person who had seen great storms. How could he be arrogant with just this bit of praise? How could he show off even more in the future?
“Fairy, you flatter me! I’m just an insignificant ordinary person among all living beings. You shouldn’t praise me like this.” Ye Qiu said humbly.
Hearing this, Jiang Ling’er was even more shocked. She didn’t expect Ye Qiu to be so calm. If an ordinary person heard such praise, they would probably be arrogant. However, he seemed to be fine. He was always very humble, polite, and did not have any arrogance.
This outstanding performance made Jiang Ling’er think highly of him.
“Alright! Let’s talk after we return to the training hall. This is not the place to talk.” After a while, Ye Qiu ended this business bragging and looked at the hall.
At this moment, Qi Huan, who had been missing for a long time, finally walked out. Ye Qiu was furious when he saw this old fellow. He wasn’t around when the accident happened just now. When the matter was over, he came instead.
“Hehe…” As if sensing Ye Qiu’s resentful gaze, Qi Huan chuckled unkindly and didn’t say anything. Don’t doubt it. He had been watching the show the entire time just now, but he had no intention of stopping him.
Ye Qiu was so angry that he laughed. “This old fellow really did it on purpose.”
Only when Qi Huan began to suppress the scene did the scene return to its usual peace and harmony. Everyone chatted and began a Dao discussion. Everyone talked about their own things and it was very lively.
Originally, there was no major arrangement today. It was just that the various large families had come to visit their juniors to see how their cultivation was before the Heaven Mending Grand Compet.i.tion.
That was all.
However, they did not expect such a thing to happen.
After this matter was over, Ye Qiu looked at the Gu Clan’s team from Tianlong City and Ku Muhai. If Yu Changsheng hadn’t suddenly interfered just now, Ye Qiu would have killed them. Now that he had calmed down, he was no longer in the mood.
“Let’s go!”
